I've yet to hear one Republican, THAT I KNOW, say that they are leaving the party because the party is "too far to the right." That's ObamaCom, state run "media" propaganda.
I am not sure what to think anymore. All I can figure is that liberals have hijacked the term "Conservative" just as they have so many others in their insidious Orwellian way.
It is possible they have convinced those famous spineless tools, the "undecided" voters, that they are conservatives, but that they can vote for people like Barack Obama and still use the label to describe themselves.
They know that most Americans understand what a Liberal is, and the description is not a good one. Even hard-core liberals are reluctant to label themselves "Liberal". They view themselves as being middle-of-the-road, no matter how liberal they are. Even so, the Soviets understood this was well. Communists view liberals with scorn and derision, but they have to make those liberals think they are integral parts of the fair and just world. Fellow travelers, so to speak.
Tools.
It is no surprise or conincidence that they code-named Julius Rosenberg "Liberal".
Once we find a Conservative leader with spine, guts, and fortitude, the tidal wave rolls and it will roll right over the Fuhrer and Congress. A lot of State politicians have to go too.
“Perhaps people who are busy gushing over the Obama cult today might do well to stop and think about what it would mean for their grand-daughters to live under sharia law.”
The absolute mental disconnect between a future that Obama might be leading the US into, and the fawning of the left wing, particularly its woman, never ceases to amaze.
“In a country with more conservatives than liberals, it is puzzling — in fact, amazing — that we have the furthest left President of the United States in history, as well as the furthest left Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
For the latter issue, that’s because of 50+ or more faux conservative rats in the house.
Hear that you RINO-head politicians!
Thomas Sowell is, again, correct in his judgment and opinion of the current state of our political parties.
...nothing more than a long-standing jockeying for position between the liberal and conservative wings of that party.
That explains the problem.. point out the country has a conservative majorty and that should help REPS... but then we have to fight with in party lib's pulling us away fron that majorty base to be left light..
Tom...you answer your own question
It was precisely the Republican "moderates" — Bob Dole and John McCain — who lost disastrously to Democrats who were initially little known individuals but who knew how to talk.
Those vocal GOP moderates continually tell us how they can win, but not why they should. When given a chance to prove themselves and their message of liberal-lite policies, we get the read deal, a far left liberal President and matching congress.
Do the republicans choose to lose on purpose? If actions mean something, it appears to be. They are like soldiers in a fire fight with perfectly good weapons who then either shoot themselves or convince each other to join with the enemy.
The republican party still has more claim to conservatism than the demonrats and has models for success in Reagan and Gingrich. If they continue to ignore the core values of a majority of voters and demonstrated strategies for winning elections and for governing after wards, the party deserves to die.
Americans deserve better and we know it. Good riddance, GOP. It's long past time to find a new brand.
Neither of them won by pretending to be Democrats. It was precisely the Republican "moderates" — Bob Dole and John McCain — who lost disastrously to Democrats who were initially little known individuals but who knew how to talk.
Man! I wish I could put it as succinctly as Dr. Sowell.
Give us another Republican candidate as weak as Juan and Bob and the country is guaranteed to go one of two ways.
Either a circle jerk that we will be a half a century recovering from or a revolution that we will be half a century recovering from.
They could see the forest through the trees if they pulled their heads out of their butts. They could evern see the forest.
